A Dobbin man was arrested Friday and charged with driving while intoxicated after a two-vehicle crash near the intersection at Texas 105 West and Walden Road.

William Butaud, 62, is accused of causing the crash by changing lanes unsafely and failing to control speed, according to Conroe police.

The crash was the second near the intersection within an hour.

Butaud drove a Dodge truck at about 6:10 p.m., when police say he conducted an unsafe lane change and struck the back of a Jaguar.

No injuries were reported from the crash scene.

Less than an hour earlier, at about 5:20 p.m., Conroe police received a call of a two-vehicle accident involving a motorcycle near the 17100 block of Walden Road.

The only information police could provide Friday night was that the motorcycle driver complained of pain in his ankle, was treated by emergency medical personnel and eventually taken to Conroe Regional Medical Center for further evaluation.

The separate crashes created a traffic log jam headed west on Texas 105 during Friday’s rush hours.

Also in the county, state troopers worked a five-vehicle crash Friday at Interstate 45 and FM 1488. A Department of Public Safety official said Friday night there were injuries as a result of the crash, but all five involved in the incident were listed in stable condition.
